This is a type that has ownership of a reference while allowing access to the
spare bits inside the pointer, but which can also safely hold an ObjC tagged pointer
reference (with no spare bits of course). It additionally blesses one
Foundation-coordinated bit with the meaning of "has swift refcounting" in order
to get a faster short-circuit to native refcounting. It supports the following
builtin operations:
- Builtin.castToBridgeObject<T>(ref: T, bits: Builtin.Word) ->
Builtin.BridgeObject
Creates a BridgeObject that contains the bitwise-OR of the bit patterns of
"ref" and "bits". It is the user's responsibility to ensure "bits" doesn't
interfere with the reference identity of the resulting value. In other words,
it is undefined behavior unless:
castReferenceFromBridgeObject(castToBridgeObject(ref, bits)) === ref
This means "bits" must be zero if "ref" is a tagged pointer. If "ref" is a real
object pointer, "bits" must not have any non-spare bits set (unless they're
already set in the pointer value). The native discriminator bit may only be set
if the object is Swift-refcounted.
- Builtin.castReferenceFromBridgeObject<T>(bo: Builtin.BridgeObject) -> T
Extracts the reference from a BridgeObject.
- Builtin.castBitPatternFromBridgeObject(bo: Builtin.BridgeObject) -> Builtin.Word
Presents the bit pattern of a BridgeObject as a Word.
BridgeObject's bits are set up as follows on the various platforms:
i386, armv7:
No ObjC tagged pointers
Swift native refcounting flag bit: 0x0000_0001
Other available spare bits: 0x0000_0002
x86_64:
Reserved for ObjC tagged pointers: 0x8000_0000_0000_0001
Swift native refcounting flag bit: 0x0000_0000_0000_0002
Other available spare bits: 0x7F00_0000_0000_0004
arm64:
Reserved for ObjC tagged pointers: 0x8000_0000_0000_0000
Swift native refcounting flag bit: 0x4000_0000_0000_0000
Other available spare bits: 0x3F00_0000_0000_0007
TODO: BridgeObject doesn't present any extra inhabitants. It ought to at least provide null as an extra inhabitant for Optional.

layouts. Introduce new SIL instructions to initialize
and open existential metatype values.
Don't actually, y'know, lift any of the restriction on
existential metatypes; just pointlessly burn extra
memory storing them.
Swift SVN r22592
- A spot fix in SILGen for reabstracting the result of a downcast, which fixes checked casts to function types.
- Associate the layout information in type metadata records with the most abstract representation of the type. This is the correct thing to do in cases where we need the metadata as a tag for an opaque value--if we store a value in an Any, or pass it as an unconstrained generic parameter, we must maximally reabstract it. This fixes the value semantics of existentials containing trivial metatypes.
- To ensure that we get runtime layout of structs and enums correct when they contain reabstractable types, introduce a "metadata for layout" concept, which doesn't need to describe the canonical metadata for the type, but only needs to describe a type with equivalent layout and value semantics. This is a correctness fix that allows us to correctly lay out generic types containing dependent tuples and functions, and although we don't really take advantage of it here, it's also a potential runtime performance win down the road, because we could potentially produce direct metadata for a primitive type that's layout-equivalent with a runtime-instantiated type. To aid in type safety here, push SILType deeper into IRGen in places where we potentially care about specific representations of types.
- Finally, fix an inconsistency between the runtime and IRGen's concept of what spare bits unmanaged references and thick metatypes have.
Together, these fixes address rdar://problem/16406907, rdar://problem/17822208, rdar://problem/18189508, and likely many other related issues, and also fixes crash suite cases 012 and 024.

I introduced a function swift_keepAlive2() which has a different signature from
swift_keepAlive() until I can verify that the stdlib is using the new
infrastructure.
The difference in signature is that swift_keepAlive2 takes just a pointer while
swift_keepAlive also takes a metadata value that is not necessary for our
purposes anymore.

Now that weak is represented as an optional type, these need the same ptrtoint/inttoptr hacks that Chris added to the pure Swift versions.

at the SIL level. Now, the referent type of a WeakStorageType is always
an optional type, instead of always being the underlying reference. This
allows us to represent both optional types. Before, both of these had the
same AST representation of WeakStorageType(T):
weak var x : T?
weak var x : T!
which doesn't work. Now we represent the optional type explicitly in the
AST and at SIL level. This also significantly simplifies a bunch of code
that was ripping off the optional type and resynthesizing it in other places,
and makes SILGen of weak pointers much more straight-forward by eliminating
the need for emitRefToOptional and emitOptionalToRef entirely (see the diffs
in test/SILGen/weak).
Weak pointers still have problems, but this is a big step forward.

Use TypeInfo::indexArray to get the bounds of the array instead of duplicating its logic incorrectly. Fixes <rdar://problem/16916422>.
Swift SVN r18115
This was part of the original weak design that
there was never any particular reason to rush the
implementation for. It's convenient to do this now
so that we can use it to implement Unmanaged<T> for
importing CF types.
Swift SVN r16693
There were two problems here:
- We weren't storing the length of the array in the heap object, so the destructor never attempted to destroy any elements, and
- In the destructor loop, we were iterating backward but comparing the loop pointer against 'end', so if we actually initialized the length, the destructor would run forever destroying elements until it crashed on an invalid object.
Fixes <rdar://problem/16536439>.
Swift SVN r16138
Replace HeapTypeInfo::hasSwiftRefcount with a "getSwiftRefcounting" method, returning an enum indicating whether a heap object has native/ObjC/block/unknown refcounting semantics. Use _Block_copy and _Block_release for block refcounting.

IRGen type conversion is invariant with respect to archetypes with the same set of constraints, so instead of redundantly generating a TypeInfo object and IR type for Optional<T> for every T everywhere, key TypeInfo objects using an "exemplar type" that we form using a folding set to collapse together archetypes with the same class-ness, superclass constraint, and protocol constraints.
This is a nice memory and IR size optimization, but will be essential for correctness when lowering interface types, because there is no unique context to ground a dependent type, and we need to lower the same generic parameter with the same context requirements to the same type whenever we instantiate it in order for the IR to type-check.
In this revision, we profile the nested archetypes of each recursively, which I neglected to take into account originally in r12112, causing failures when archetypes that differed by associated type constraints were incorrectly collapsed.

Start using null-page values as extra inhabitants when laying out single-payload enums that contain class pointers as their payload type. Don't use inhabitants that set the lowest bit, to avoid trampling potential ObjC tagged pointer representations. This means that 'T?' for class type T now has a null pointer representation. Enums with multiple empty cases, as well as nested enums like 'T??', should now have optimal representations for class type T as well.
Note that we don't yet expose extra inhabitants for aggregates that contain heap object references, such as structs with class fields, Swift function types, or class-bounded existentials (even when the existential has no witness tables).
Swift SVN r10061
We need these for dependent-layout generic classes so we know the allocation/deallocation size and alignment. When I figure out ObjC interop with generic subclasses these should move to the rodata so they get handled resiliently by the ObjC runtime, but for generic class bringup this is convenient.
Swift SVN r9249
In the implementation of class-bounded archetypes and existentials, instead of referring to ObjC pointer types and retain/release operations directly, use an 'UnknownRefCountedPtrTy' and 'emitUnknownRetain/Release' functions.
Swift SVN r5619
Add overloads of getFragileTypeInfo and getFunctionType that take a SILType instead of a Swift CanType, and use them where it's easy to do so. Right now they just forward to the CanType versions, but we'll want to do SILType-specific type conversion soon. Clean up some IRGenSILFunction interfaces now that SILFunction carries most of the information IRGen needs intrinsically. No functionality change.
Swift SVN r5141
Emit the deallocObject runtime call inside the deallocating destructor for a heap object, instead of inside swift_release. This will allow for heap objects with known size to directly call fast deallocator entry points and potentially custom deallocators in the future.
